Through school gardening programs, the potential exists to
grow a substantial amount of food. Before the growing process is
started, plans for utilizing the produce should be created. Below
are some options:
• Partner with the School Food Service team to provide samples
on the serving line
• Sell to parents and teachers to sustain the garden
• Host a salad day/cooking classes
• Send home with families
• Donate to charitable organizations

Partner with School Food Service (SFS)
Whenever serving food grown in the garden, consult with the
School Food Service professional on the school campus to ensure
that food safety and sanitation procedures are followed. For more
